Honda 3813 Service & Rebuild

This is the "bravo" machine according to the client. This is the 2nd 3813 he has owned, but the first one for me to service. Compared to the 4514 rebuild, I was far more confident in the disassembly and assembly since I knew what to expect. Similar problems such as the need for a new timing belt, water pump, and front driveshaft damper. The charge coils were in good shape and did not need changing.

The battery tray is removable for the 3813, bolted in. Unlike the 4514 which is welded in, forcing you to remove the entire pedestal assembly to get access to the rear of the engine should you want to avoid pulling the engine out of the frame rails. I have seen some videos working on these machines where the person actually cuts the battery tray then rewelds it back in...DON'T DO THAT. I get you are trying to save time, but don't be lazy. Disassemble the machine right and don't be a hack.

These Honda mowers have a great amount of support in the forum communities, despite their exceptional difficulty and tedious nature to service.

Many parts as mentioned before on my 4514 video are NLA from Honda. Ebay and the forums are your best friends for finding these parts.

Quick history lesson about these Honda mowers I learned. They were designed and built by Honda's motorcycle division. Often you find parts like cables and some of the engine parts can be crossed with some motorcycle models. Sadly though because of the high build quality, priced themselves out of the lawnmower market. They built some damn good machines.

I am available for questions as always, Check out my forum posts for more info!
